MAY 2002 INSIDE Lasallian Partners A Meeting Follow the LIDER 2 Council 4 5of Minds Operation Big Brother adopts 3 public schools As part of the La Salle mission to provide quality education to the less privileged, the Lasallian Institute for Development and Educational Research (LIDER) under the College of Education teamed up with three Manila public schools for Operation Big Brother (OBB). Started in 2001, the seven-year pilot project is undertaken with V. Mapa High School, Arellano High School, and G. Perfecto High School. The program has three beneficiaries: the students, the teachers, and the school. A total of 480 students received a complete set of textbooks and school supplies at the start of the school year. Using curriculum, materials, and learning activities similar to those used in Lasallian high schools, the students are also trained in the following subject areas: Science, Mathematics, English, Filipino, and Social Studies. Aside from getting an enriched curriculum derived from Lasallian high schools, the public schools have also benefited from improved facilities. This school year, each of the three schools received a science lab and multimedia learning resources. At the same time, 60 teachers, or 20 from each school, have been given the opportunity to apply for scholarship for a Master’s degree at DLSU-M. They also receive regular in-service teacher training programs to improve their teaching competencies. Furthermore, they receive peer coaching and peer tutoring training to enable them to become effective trainers of their co-teachers. In a related development, Kraft Foods (Philippines), Inc. (KFP) donated two million pesos (P2M) for the OBB. The turnover ceremony of the donation was held at the KFP Plant in Parañaque last February 5. Attending the event for DLSU-Manila were Dr. Carmelita Quebengco, executive vice president; Brother Andrew Gonzalez, FSC, vice president for academics and research; Dr. Allan Bernardo, College of VISITING LIAN.

    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

McCOY INTRODUCTION --- Over the past quarter century, Western social scientists have generally described the "Asian city" in negative terms - overpopu- lated, underdeveloped, "parasitic," and alien. These unfavorable descriptions are, in part, the product of an almost continuous de- bate over the cultural character of the Asian city. Writing in 1954, Robert Redfield and Milton Singer defined much of the termino- logy for this debate in an influential essay titled "The Cultural Role of the Cities." They argued that urbanization - regardless of time and place - usually evolved through two phases characterized by distinctive cultural patterns. In the primary phase, "a pre- civilized folk society is transformed into a peasant society and cor- related urban center." During this phase, cities such as Peking play an "orthogenetic" role by transforming the "Little Tradition" cul- ture of the peasants into a "Great Tradition" whose "moral, legal, aesthetic and other cultural norms" become the basis of an indige- -r nous moral order.

For several years, Ladlad has sought to win seats in the Philippine Congress in order to fight for the equal rights, equal protection under the law, and state-sponsored support for the advancement and wellbeing of all LGBT Filipinos. By seeking to advance LGBT rights specifically as an LGBT political party within the Philippines’ unique party-list system, Ladlad represents novel realities and future possibilities for both Filipino and global LGBT movements, electoral politics, and human rights advocacy.

Clearly, the la� er’s eff ects go beyond economics as Asian politics and culture (including media) tend to evolve due to the changing times. While these studies do not cover the entire Asian experience with regard to globalization and other in� uences, they nevertheless give interested readers the speci� c experience in selected Asian countries like the Philippines, Korea and East Timor while providing a general context of Asian media and culture.

Desierto “To be non-Orientalist means to accept the continuing tension between the need to universalize our perceptions, analyses, and statements of values and the need to defend their particularist roots against the incursion of the particularist perceptions, analyses, and statements of values coming from others who claim they are putting forward universals. We are required to universalize our particulars and particularize our universals simultaneously and in a kind of constant dialectical exchange, which allows us to find new syntheses that are then of course instantly called into question. It is not an easy game.” - Immanuel Wallerstein in EUROPEAN UNIVERSALISM: The Rhetoric of Power2 “Sec.2. The Philippines renounces war as an instrument of national policy, adopts the generally accepted principles of international law as part of the law of the land and adheres to the policy of peace, equality, justice, freedom, cooperation, and amity with all nations.

  • Diaspora As Historical/Political Trope in Philippine Literature by Rolando
    Diaspora as Historical/Political Trope in Philippine Literature by Rolando B. Tolentino University of the Philippines Film Institute Roland B. Tolentino is Associate Professor at the University of the Philippines Film Institute and currently a Visiting Professor at the National University of Singapore. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Southern California. He is co-editor of Transglobal Economies and Cultures: Contemporary Japan and Southeast Asia (2004). Other publications include National/Transnational: Subject Formation and Media in and on the Philippines (2001) and Sa loob at labas ng mall kong sawi/kaliluha'y siyang nangyayaring hari: Ang Pagkatuto at Pagtatanghal ng Kulturang Popular [Inside and outside my shattered mall/confusion reigns supreme: Pedagogy and Performance of Popular Culture] (2001). In the last forty years, the Philippine national economy has been increasingly fueled by remittances of OCWs (overseas contract workers). I prefer the term OCW to OFW (overseas Filipino worker) as the former highlights the nature of overseas work— contractual or forming the core of the latest labor imperative in postindustrial capitalism, flexible labor. OFW, on the other hand, represents the rhetoric of the Philippine state— “bagong bayani” or “new heroes” as signified by the growing abundance of its national labor abroad. So massive is the export of subcontractual human or Filipino/a labor that eight million OCWs accounted for some US$9 billion remittances in 2005. The amount is roughly 52 percent of the 2005 Philippine national budget of P957.56 billion, and could have covered three-fold the Philippine government’s national deficit of US$3.2 billion for the same year.
